Revit

Kommentare: BIM will certainly change the construction industry in ways we cannot fully appreciate yet. Revit is of the best solutions that are pushing this revolution forward.

Vorteile: - Game-changing and full-featured building BIM design software (Building Information Modeling)
- Simplified the design process beyond belief from the days of AutoCAD
- Quantity take-offs are now byproducts of the building model, not a separate business process.
- With BIM (Not only Revit) the plans, sections and quantity take-offs are all dynamically related. Any change to one of them is immediately reflected on the others
- Works well for Architectural, Structural, HVAC, and MEP modeling.
- Easy to use yet very capable.
- Seamless integration with other Autodesk solutions (NavisWorsk, Robot .. etc.)
- Plenty of training resources online.

Nachteile: - The price is too steep for companies in developing countries especially since it uses an annual subscription for each user.

Kommentare: My business gave me no formal training in Revit right away. However I offered to learn the program in my free time, and found it very easy to pick up on. Within a couple weeks, I could operate just about any single command and could complete all the necessary functions for my business. Is very intuitive and easy to use, although sometimes there are just glitches that you were going to find in any other modeling program. Overall rabbit is a more versatile, and diverse program that will be useful for many fields. I would be surprised if My business gave me no formal training in Revit right away.

Overall Revit is a more versatile, and diverse program that will be useful for many fields. I would be surprised if this didn’t end up being an industry standard in future years.

Vorteile: One of the most intuitive solid modeling programs. Can be used for a versatile field. It is useful in floorplan designing, 3-D modeling, and everything in between. It seems like the industries are turning towards Revit more and more.

Nachteile: It is still missing some functions that other programs have had forever. Such as a trim function, or a grouping function. Although it has other commands that help make up for this. It can definitely glitch out quite a bit, and sometimes it only allows you to do certain tasks in sketch view even when they should be available in solid view.

Vorteile: The ability to build a set of documents as a team.

Nachteile: Difficult to import/export geometries in various formats.

Kommentare: Overall, since we have been using Revit for our designs and drafting, we have been able to identify errors in our design using the clash detection abilities. Since designs are in drawn in both 3D and 2D, this has greatly increased our production time and most effectively present the actual 3D designs to our client at the same time. We have also been able share projects among other Professionals in the industry.

Vorteile: Revit is no doubt the best software out there in Terms of BIM (Building information Modeling)! No Architect should use anything less! With Revit one can build free forms easily, manage the building Information, and easily share projects. Its very easy to import other CAD files and manage them effectively. Another thing this software has been able to do is incorporate other Add-on tools like Enscape, Avail Browswer, e.t.c. for maximum efficiency. lest I forget, This software creates both the 2D and 3D simultaneously!

Nachteile: Hmmm.... this can be a little difficult, but one major thing I wish AutoDesk would do is make framing of Walls and Floors easier than it is right now.

Kommentare: Again, I love the compatibility aspect, I just don't care for the required learning curve. A lot of patience is necessary.

Vorteile: I love that professional construction documents can be created utilizing this software and that it is compatible with AutoCAD.

Nachteile: I have yet to experience any cons within the Revit software other than the learning curve required even with having familiarity with other AutoDesk software.
